In a completely unrelated search for an out-of-print book, I happened across Postmodern Barney's blog, which is a really entertaining comics blog.

(And, as a total aside, while researching rectal damage for this post, I accidentally happened across this post (no gross images, I promise!). The world is full of many things.)
